Mr. Sinclair, I understand that from the time the Canadian government was accepted into talks there was a 90-day consultation process in the U.S. Congress before Canada was formally admitted, during which time there were two further negotiating sessions. Some have expressed concern that the time period from the ninth negotiating session to the twelfth, when Canada was going to formally enter, gave the original nine countries the opportunity to reach consensus on areas where they knew Canada had sensitivities, for instance, on agriculture, market access, drug prices, cultural industries, and copyright protection. It gave them an opportunity to close off text in advance, knowing that Canada was about to enter.
Have you heard any concerns in that regard?
